Hockey Game at Chinook 
Adrects Many and 
Ends in Draw 


The hockey game played here 
on Friday afternoon last, between 
Youngstown and Chinook, re- 
sulted in a tie, each side BeOHInE 
two goals, 

.The game attracted quite a 
crowd and every point o. vantage 
was taken by interested specta- 
tors who keenly observed every 
important play, The iee was in 
excellent condition and the game 
was fast throughout, es 

In the first period neither side 
scored although the goal keeper 
forthe visitars found: it eee a 
to stop ‘several good ‘share ; 
fact, if it-had not. been for ‘is 
clever work dane by the Youngs- 
town goal keeper the score would 
haye been as one-sided as a new 
moon, 

The first goal was gotten in the 
second period when Martin scot- 
ed for Youngstown, Forset soon 
made the s¢ore even when he 
sent the puck past the wily play- 
erin the Youngstown goal and 
scored for the home team, Then 
Schofield, for the visitors, fixed 
the score so that it was 2-1 at the 
end of the second period. 

>In the early part of the third 
period Chinook got another. goal 
when Lee, by a very clever shot; 
sent: the “rubber” into the vis- 
itors’ net, There was no more 
scoring after this and the game

“NEVER COOK UP-COLD MEAT WITHOUT Lt 
Canada's Needs 


No. 2—Agricultural Prosperity 


Concluding’ the first article in this series in which the greatest 
need of Canada, in order that it may become the nation nature in- 
tended it should be, was declared to be adequate population, the 
view was expressed that, first and foremost, it should be definitely 
ascertained why so many peoplerleft the country; in a word, why 
Canada failed to hold the people who immigrated to the Dominion, 
aud even failed to hold its‘own native born, 

The fait should be clearly established, and, in the opinion of 
the writer, it is not far to seck. It is, we believe, to be found in the 
fact that, despite Canada’s enormous area of fertile agricultural land, 
the wonderful productivity of its soil, and the virility of its climate 
and people, the business of farming is not a paying one, with the 
inevitable consequence that agriculture languishes and thousands 
of people who engage in it give up after years of struggle, while

Wireless Beacons May - 
Replace Lighthouses 


Chief Advantage Is Usefulness In Any 
Kind of Weather 


Admiralty experiments with what 
are-known as: wireless“beaconsnatur- 
ally give rise to the question, “Aro 
our lighthouses doomed?” 

Important experiments have been 


Lizard, Cornwall, and are believed to 
have met with success, 

If the principle of the wireless 
beacon is accepted by Trinity House 
it will, of course, be an untold. boon 
to our coastwise shipping. The nun- 
ber of wrecks will be reduced, but 
at the same time there will be an, 
end to the romance of the lighthouse 
and the lighthouse keeper, and novel- 
ists will have to seek inspiration for 
their sea stories elsewhere. 

The chief advantage of the wire- 
less beacon is that in any weather, 
by day or night, in fog or blizzard, it 
can be picked up by a ship fitted 
with wireless as easily as a_ light-

As long as such a condition continues, and millions of acres of | captain exactly where he is without 
arable land remain unsettled and unproductive, all industry in Can- getting in touch with big land sta- 


ada will suffer, our railways will continue to be operated at a loss 
or be forced to impose such heavy rates upon the commerce of the 
country as to constitute another and scrious obstacle to settlement, 
development and the business of the Dominion. 


‘All observant men must admit that there is something radi-|. 


cally:wrong when the second largest grain crop ever raised in.the 
Prairic:Provinces, that is so far as quantity is concerned, proved to 
be, not a debt-paying crop but a debt-producing crop. The hun- 
dreds.of millions of bushels of grain grown and harvested in 1921 


should have given a great impetus to business in Canada, should | 


have paid off millions of debt contracted in the previous poorer 
years, and should have started many people on the road to pros- 
erity. But, alas, taken as a whole the crop of. 1921 cost the 
armers more to produce it than they realized from its sale. And 
‘this disheartening experience of the grain. grower was duplicated 
‘in the case of-the livestock producers. 
“Under conditions such as these it is quite futile, and a waste of 
-time, energy and money to endeavor to secure thousands of new set- 
tlers to come to Canada-and engage in agricultural production. 
Conditions confronting and governing agriculture in Canada must 
first be righted. 

There will always be years in which adverse weather conditions 
occur, years when plagues of grasshoppers, or rust, or some other 
pest will prevail to.a certain extent, but every farmer is prepared 
for.these. These things-alone did not bring thousands of Western 
farmers face to face with disaster and ruin this year. Despite such 
drawbacks, and notwithstandnig the high costs incurred in connec- 
tion with the raising and harvesting and marketing of the 1921 crop, 
there would have been a profit had anything like a price comparable 
with the costs-of-production:been obtainable. But just as soon as 
the crop began to move the bottom fell out of the market and the 
grair: had to be sold, if sold at all, at a price less than the costs of 
production and transportation. 

That’s the situation in a nutshell, and the_result is that not only 
the Western farmers, and the West generally where prosperity de- 
pends upon the success of the farmers, but the whole industrial 
world in Canada is suffering. Business in the East as well as in the 
West is in the doldrumg, is vitally, seriously, affected. 

Agriculturists, we repeat, expect to face the vagaries and cope 
with the vicissitudes of nature, but as individuals they cannot com- 
-bat such a combination of circumstances as confronted them during 
1921 and will confront them again unless Canada wakes up as a 
nation and grapples with what is our outstanding national problem. 
A solution must be found, and found speedily; if Canada is to grow 
and prosper. 

Canada can‘only live and prosper by developing a large and pro- 
“fitable export-trade. The chief exports of this Dominion arc, and 
for-many years must comtinue to be, the natural products. of ‘its 
farms, its mines, its forests, and its. fisheries. World markets for 
these products must be found and developed. The fiscal policy 


“ of this Dominion should be so framed as to encourage such a devel- 


& 


'| OF PIMPLES 


.opment. 

“A home market for factory products is of no value if the home 
people have not the money wherewith to purchase the manufactured 
goods, and'the great mass of Canadian consumers cannot have 
money if the products of Canada’s farms do not command a price 
in excess of the cost of producing grain and livestock. 

Thickly populated countries may be self-contained, with an in- 
dustrial.urban population sufficiently large to consume all that the 
agricultural rural population can raise, and vice versa, but not so in 
a country like Canada with an enormous undeveloped area of arable 
land and other natural reSources and a sparse population thinly 
spread out in a line three or four thousand miles long. Canada 
must produce more from its land than its own people can consume, 
and a profitable market must be had for the surplus in order that 
the whole country may prosper.

WHEN WOMEN SUFFER 


Look for weakness or ill-health. See

restlessness and the “blues.” The 
symptoms indicate that you need the 
gentle assistance of Dr. Hamilton's 
Pills. This soothing medicine is a 
great friend to womankind. They are 
a wonderful relief to constipation, 
they clear up sick headache, remove 
-wastes and poisons from the system. 
Girls and women can use Dr. Hamil-

THIN, WATERY BLOOD 
MEANS ILL HEALTH 


Rich, Red Blood Brings Bright Eyes 
and Rosy Cheeks 

The girl who returns home from 
school or from work. thoroughly tired 
out will be fortunate if she escapes a 
physical breakdown, because this 
getting tired so easily is probably 
the first wdrning symptom of a thin- 
ning blood that must not be disregard- 
ed if her health isto be preserved. 

When the blood becomes thin and 
impure the patient becomes pale. She 
not only tire’ out easily but often suf- 
fers from headaches, palpitation of 
the heart, dizzy spells and a loss of 
appetite. 

In this condition Dr. Williams’ Pink 
Pills will be found to have a beneficial 
action on the blood. Miss Delima 
Lafreniere, St. Ambrose, Man., has 
proved. this-in her own case, and ad- 
vises others to use these pills. She 
says: “Before I began the use of Dr. 
Williams’ Pink Pills I felt like a com- 
plete wreck of my former self. My 
blood was poor and thin. I suffered. 
from faint and dizzy spells, and-had 
backaches and headaches almost 
every day. I decided to give Dr. Wil- 
liams’ Pink Pills a trial, and by the 
time I had used three boxes I felt 
much* better: and I continued taking 
the pills until I felt as well as I ever 


did. For what they did in my caso 
I cannot recommend these pills too 
highly.” 


Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills can be ob- 
tained from any dealer in medicine, 
or by mail at 50 cents a box or six 
boxes ‘for $2.50 from The Dr. WII- 
liams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 


Gift to British Foreign Office 


Artist Has Worked Seven Years On 
New Frestoes 

The new frescoes at the Forelgn 
Office, a gift from Sigismund Goetz, 
the eminent painter, were recently {u- 
spected by members of the Cabinet 
Council. 

There are five large works, reach- 
ing from dado to ceiling, and three 
smaller subjects over the doorway. 
They treat of the origin, education, 
development, expansion and triumph 
of the British Empire. 

Descriptive phrases above the 
main subjects indicate the scope of 
each; 

“The: seafarers 
their bride.” 

“She teaches her children the arts 


claim Lritain as 


of peace.” 

“She teaches her sons the arls of 
war.” 

“Mistress of the seas, she sends 


her sons into distant lands.” 

“To the Motherland they offer ald 
and counsel; friends allied acclaim 
the righteous peace." 

Mr. Goetz has been employed on 
the work for seven years. “It has 
been agreed that no call‘shall-bo 
made on. public funds, not. even for 
the fixing of the frescoes to tho. 
walls,” sald the artist to a press 
representative. 

“J have accepted responsibility for

The roof of the mouth is called the 
palate. There are two parts to it, 
the hard bony part surrounded by 
teeth, which is naturally called the 
hard palate, and the soft part that is 
80 sentitive, at the back of the mouth, 
called the soft palate. 

Some unfortunate children are porn 
with a separation of the palate length- 
wise. In these cases the nose and 
mouth open into each others

Training Canadians To Speak

One of the most {mporlant projects 
undertaken in connection with public 
schools, high schools, 
and by professional instructors, is 
that of teaching the young Cana- 
dians how to speak in public. 

Ideas and thoughts only have value 
in direct proportion to ths extent to 


universities

not inspired the Christian world with 
his flery eloquence. Without his abil-

Land would have remained as a mag- 
nificent dream in Peter's brain. 

People-go to church and hear a 
sermon. If the minister is a trained 
speaker, his ideas are twice as effec- 
tive as the ideas of the preacher with 
a halting tongue.

Tho Ontario Government. is calling 
for tenders to extend the ZTemiskam-

ope up one of the finest agricultural 
areas in the north country; also great 
(imber areas and almost unlimited

Will Be Abolishe 


Washington.—The five great naval 
powers of the world have decreed as 
between themselves, abolishment’ of 
submarine warfare against merchant 
ships. To purge the seas forever of 
this hidden menace to peaceful folk 
and ships, the world is asked to sub- 
scribe to the decree of a new prin- 
ciple of international law. 

As adopted by the naval committee 
of the arms conference, the resolution 
proposed by Elihu Root, and amended 
by Arthur J. Balfour, to become im- 
mediately effective between the five 
signatory powers, runs in part as 
follows: - 

“One—The signatory powers desir- 
ing to make more effective the rules 
adopted by civilized nations for the 
protection of the lives of neutrals 
and non-combatants at sea in time of 
warfare declare that among these 
rules the following are to be deemed 
an established part of international 
law: - 

“1—A merchant vessel must be 
ordered to submit to visit and search 
to determine character before it can 
be seized.

‘Western Grain Shipments 


* From Pacific Port Reaching 3 
Unlocked For Dine 


After years of Soatrovon with on 
the one hand ingrained conviction 
that Canadian grain~ would never 
leave from the Pacific coast, and on 
the other a sanguine assurance that 
ultimately this would come to pass, 
Vancouver {s coming {nto its own as 
a port of outlet for part of the crop 
of the prairle provinces. Though the 
firat shipment was made only last 
year, developments since that -time, 
and the volume of ‘grain in prospect 
for export from the Pacific, leave no 
doubt as to-the future status of Van- 
couver a8 a grain shipping port for 
the product of the prairies. 

The movement of tho first big ship- 
ment of Canadian wheat to Europe by 
way of the Pacific was watched with 
considerable interest, and ‘attention 
from many quarters was directed to 
its reception at the English port. 
There was general apprehension that 
the grain would suffer passing through 
the fropical region of the Panama 

- -yone, but, when unloaded in England, 
grain experts stated that grain had 
never been received there in better 
condition. Pactfie coast exporters 
breathed. easily and saw a wonderful 
future opened up for the Pacific coast 
fn sharing with the east the business 
of carrying the grain product of the 
west to Europe. Other shipments 
followed immediately upon the first, 
‘and by the end of the ‘Beason sixteen 
thousand tons of grain, mostly wheat, 
had left Vancouver for Europe via tho 
Panama Canal. 

This year shipments from the Pacl- 
. Re coast to Europe began just.as soon 
as the movement of the — threshed 
crops from the prairies got under way 
and the export business has been busy 
aince that time. Grain dealers at the 
coast estimate that during the pres- 
ent. season, approximately ten times 
ag much grain will pass through Van- 
couver for Europe as loft last season. 
This will amount, according to esti- 
mate, to at least 160,000 tons. There 
will be, it 49 considered, about forty 
cargoes. ’ 

Another departure in the export of 
grain this year has been the shipment 
of sacked wheat from Vancouver to 
Japan. Hitherto Japan. has been 
contented with the softer grains of 

‘the United States, but that the. Cana- 
“dian product is now held in high favor |” 
dp evidenced in tho extensive demand, 
” November consignments to the Orient 
trom the Pacific coast:port totalling 
seven thousand tons. - 

The success of {nitial export ship- 
ments of Canadfan grain from Van- 
couver to all parts of the world leaves 
no shadow of doubt..as to the great 
future of this port, lying s0 convenient 
to the western granaries, as an outlet 
for a portion of thelr annual crop, and 
the success of shipment through tho 
Panama Canal to Europe is: fraught 
with significance to the Dominion 
grain export movement. Every year 
a certain amount of congestion occurs 
with the enormous product of the 
prairie provinces flooding the terminal 
elevators and export shipping points 
at the samo time. The heavy in- 
creases in annual production which 
will probably continue in greater pro- 
portion in the future, will tax the 
eastern ports of outlet to a yet great- 
er extent and the success of Vancou- 

- ver shipments will considerably aug- 
ment the importance of the British 
Columbia port.

Holland’s Unique Industry 


Country Hag Market for Seaweed Har- 
vested Every Year- 

That every year thero {s.a. haryest 
of seaweed is a fact which ts not gen- 
erally known, 

This {industry is carried on in Hol- 
land. The seaweed {s mown with 
scythes, when the tops almost reach 
the surface of the waterf. The har- 
vesters, clothed in watertight gar- 
ments reaching to the shoulders, worlt 
when tho tide is low. 

When this indusiry began, oaiy one 
scythe was used at a time, but now 
several are fixed to a line which the 
workers draw to and fro {n a saw-like 
manner above the base of the weed. 

After the weed has been cut it {fs 
spread out in order that {it may. be 
withered by the sun. When it be- 
comes black {it is soaked in water. 
Tho fresher tho water the blacker the 
seaweed turns, and the’ blacker the 
weed, the higher becomes its value. 

After being soaked for a few days, 
the product is spread out in the fields 
to dry, and when thoroughly crisp. it 
{s made up into bales weighing about 
one hundred pounds each. It is then 
ready for the market. 

Seaweed has lately been found to 
produco gelatine of a vory high qual- 
ity.

Magnificent Donation _ 
_ by Indian Prince 


Sends $2,000 to Fun Fund for Princess 
Mary's Wedding Gift 

A magnificent donation to a fund 
which one of the London Journals is 
raising for a wedding gift to Princess 
Mary has been cabled from India by 
‘the Maharajah Gaekwar of Baroda. 
The Maharajah’s (or {s it the Gaek- 
war's?) gift is the sum of $2,000. His 
Highness is one of the most loyal, as 
well as the richest, of India’s ruling 
princes, and he made munifficent gifts 
to help the British during the war. 
The particular wedding gift to which 
he has contributed is to be devoted to 
the benefit of two children’s hospitals 
{n which the Princess takes a keen 
{nterest. 

According to Scripture 

“Daddy, dear, cook’s going to 
leave,” said the minister’s daughter, 
“and I simply can’t think how we'll 
ever get another.” 

“Dear, dear! That seems o pity. 
Couldn’t you—er—well” 

“Oh, it’s no use. -She’s not honest, 
so I’ve told her to go.” 

The minister brooded over his suc- 
culent cutlet. 7 

“Scripture asserts, my dear,” said 
ho “that if a man takes away thy 
coat, let him have the cloak also.” 

“Foxactly!” replied the. clergy- 
man’s daughter. “I found her steal- 
ing potatoes, so I’ve given her. the 
sack,”

rate of 10.4 per 100,000 in population, 
which {s 1.per cent. higher than the

s Clean Seed For Grain 


Practice {s First Step Toward a Suc. 
~ cessful Crop — 

There is no’ single farm operation 
so easily and cheaply done, which 
gives larger returns, than the thor- 
ough cleaning and grading of all seed 
sown... Besides cleaning out the weed 
seeds, the light weight seeds are tak- 
en. out when the job {s properly done, 
thus preventing the reprofluction of 
the poorer plants. This practice 
carried on year after year permits the 
increase of the best and kills out the 
poorest. Thorough cleaning and 
grading of all seeds planted {sg the 
first step toward a successful crop. 
There igs no time like tho present to 
put (he seed in proper shape for plant-

ing for board and lodgings. Green 
feed is the secret that produced the 
desired result and of ajl tho green 
feeds I have.tried, sprouted oats have 
proved tho best, 

“Of course, it requires grain and 
mash feeds to furnish materials for 
the hens to make the eggs from; but, 
without succulent green feed, I found, 
such feeding was practically wasted 
as regards egg production and the 
fowls could not do their.best. So,.if 
anybody wants to have a good erg 
yield during the cold months, I would 
advise them not to omit sprouted oats 
from the rations.. My birds are en- 
Joying better health also as _sickness 
is practically: unknown. Sprouted 
oats furnish a-yery cheap feed and 
they contain ingredients very helpful 
to the hens in the production of eggs.” 


The Tomb Of Lord Roberts 


Inscription Completed and Unvetled 
Without Ceremony 

The inscription above the tomb of 
Lord Roberts in the crypt of St. Paul's 
Cathedral was completed at the end 
of last week, and was unveiled with- 
out ceremony. ~The design consists 
of a cross of dark marble set in the 
wall, with the word “Roberts” cut 
into its base in letters of gold. Over 
the grave the British and Indian flags 
will be draped. A memorial tablet of 
Lord Roberts is also being prepared,

“The oped season of 1921 in the 
Mackenzio River oil flelds has come 
and gone,” writes Mr. F, H, Kitto, ex- 
ploratory engineer of the Natural Re- 
sources Intelligence Branch of the Do- 
partment of the Interlor, who has 
spent the past two seasons in the 
Mackenzie district. With the cessa- 
tion of activities that were pushed 
with feverlsh haste during the short 
summer months of continuous day- 
light, comes av opportunity to review 
the progress and development that 
has been accomplished, and to welgh 
the situation in the light of additional 
knowledge gained. 

On the whole, in general terms, an 
atmosphere of disappointment is eyl- 
dent, To the casual observer the 
field has proved below par and there- 
foro n failure. Such snap verdicts 
are to be expected—in fact they can- 
not be avoided. The tendency te 
over-estimate and “boom” that was 
go rampant last winter and spring 
could not fail to produce a renction. 
Whether or not the fleld will ultimate- 
ly prove fruitful, the facts that {ls 
location is far distant from markets 
and that systems of transportation 
will be dificult and expensvie to es- 
tabNsh, prohibit an immediate return 
from any capital invested, 

The usual army of cheap adventur- 
ers that gather,on such occasfons hag 
been eliminated, arid only the season: 
ed voterang or recruits with suMcient 
stamina and financial backing remain. 
Tho action of the Canadian Govern: 
ment in framing new regulations that 
will insure the development, and not 
the “wildcatting” of this resource and 
{n authorizing the Royal Canadian 
Mounted Police to refuse right of en 
try to parties without material means 
of combating the severe elements and 
living conditions of the district, or of 
others of questionable intentions, 
though raising a storm of protest at 
the time, is proving effective. 

It now becomes evident to the think- 
ing man that the returns from this 
source, if any, will-be slow in appear- 
ing and that the work of prospecting 
and devoloping .will not be spectacu- 
lar. There {8, however, no reason 
to feel disappoilited. hero is no 
more excuse for q re-action now than 
there was for a boom last spring. Tho 
fact is, there never was any justifica- 
tion for Jumping at.conclusions of en- 
ormous retifins. “Qhly: a beginning 
has been made and serious prospect: 
{ng is hardly yet in full swing. The 
fleld has by no means been tested, and 
those in.a position to hazard a sane 
forecast are exceedlagly optimistic. 
The summer has resulted in empha- 
sizing two main features—the magni: 
tude of the task of developing the oil. 
resources, a8 alrendy referred to, and 
the great possjbilities, more within 
the reach of the man of Hmited capl- 
tal, of discovering valuable deposits of 
placer gold, goldbearing quartz and 
silver, lead, zinc, enpper and fron ores.- 
A large number ci prospectors, at- 
tracted to the district by the publicity 
resulting from the discovery of oil, 
and finding themselves unable to par: 
ticipate in its development, have 
spread to the north, east and wost in 
search of minerals offering quicker re- 
turns. -Alrendy several promising 
discoverley have been reported and it 
is just possible that directly or in- 
directly the of] stampede may result 
in the opening up of one of the great- 
| est niining areas of the north. Among 
these prospectors are found some of 
the most experienced men of the Klon- 
dike and other famous flelds.

George Rupp, of Lampmap, Sask., is a 

loss that will be regretted by horse- 


men throughout the province and Can- 
ada generally. He was a five-year- 
old, and ag a three-year-old, he won 
the grand champlonship for the Bel- 
glan breed at Waterloo Fair, Iowa, in 
1919.. He was looked upon as the 
best Belgian horse on the American 
continent. Ho was sired by the un- 
beaten champion “Marceur,” who was 
sold at auction for $47,500, When a 
three-year-old, $31,500 was offered for 
“Flashwood,” but lis owner would not 
part with him,

(Continued) 


“Oh, yes—and that’s what's the 
trouble. They’re too nice. She feels 
smothered and oppressed—as if she 
were visiting somewhere, and not at 
home.  She’s actually afraid of her 
maid. You see, Miss Flora has al- 
ways lived very simple. She isn’t 
used to maids—dnd the maid knows it, 
which, if you ever employed maids, 
you would know is a terrible state of 
affairs.” 

“Oh but she—she’ll get used to that, 
in time.” 

“Perhaps,” conceded Miss Maggie, 
“put I doubt it. Some.women would, 
but not Miss Flora. She is7too in- 
herently simple in her tastes. ‘Why, 
it’s as bad as always living in a hotel!’ 
she wailed to me last night. ‘You 
know on my trip I was so afraid al- 
ways I'd do something that wasn’t 
quite right, before those awful waiters 
in the dining-rooms, and I was anti- 
cipating so much getting home where 
I could act natural—and here I’ve got 
one in my own house!’” : 

, Mr. Smith frowned, but he laughed, 
00, 

“Poor Miss Flora! - But why doesn’t 
she dismiss the lady?” 

“She doesn’t dare to. Besides, 
there’s Hattie. She says Hattie is al- 
ways te,ling her what is due her posi- 
tion, and that she must do this and do 
that. She’s being invited out, too, the 
Pennocks’ and. the Bensons’; and 
they’re worse than the maid, she de- 
clares. She says she loves to ‘run in’ 
and see people, and she loves to go to 
places and spend the day with her 
sewing; but that these things where 
you go and stand up and eat off a jig- 
gly plate, and see everybody, and not 
Teally see anybody, are a nuisance and 
an abomination.” 

“Well, she’s about right there,” 
chuckled Mr. Smith. 

“Yes, I think she is,” smiled Miss 
Maggie; “but that isn’t telling me 
how*to make her contented.” 

“Contented! Great Scott!” snap- 
ped Mr. Smith, with an ifrritabfity 
that was as sudden as it was appar- 
ently ~ causeless. ‘I didn’t suppose 
you had to tell any woman on this 
earth how to be contented—with a 
hundred thousand dollars!” 

“It would seem so, wouldn’t it?” 

Something in Miss Maggie’s voice 
sent Mr. Smith’s eyes to her face Ina 
keen glance of interrogation, 


‘Strength 


Strength of muscle does not in- 
dicate strength of nerves. On this 
account many people who look 
healthy enough suffer from nervous 
troubles and cannot understand 
what is ailing them. Sleeplessness 
and irritability are among the early 
symptoms, ~ Indigestion and tired 
feelings soon follow.

Mr. W. L. Gregory, Charles 


St. E., Ingersoll, Ont., writes: 

“I had been troubled for quite a 
while with indigestion, At times there, 
would be a twitching of the nerves of 

W my stomach; and I also found it diffi- 
cult to get a good night's sleep. I ama 
moulder, and owing to the nature of 
my work my system became run-down. f 
I took a treatment of Dr. Chase's Nerve 
Food, and found great benefit from this 
medisine. They did me a great deal 
of good, I have not been bothered at all 
with indigestion since, and can sleep 
much better. I have recommended Dr.

friends, as I think ,it splendid for any- 
one run-down and needing a tonic.”

“You mean—you’d Hke the chance 
to prove it? That you wish you had 
that hundred thousand?” : 

“Oh,° 1 didn’t say—that,” twinkled 
Miss Maggie: mischievously, turning 
away. . 

It was that same afternoon that Mr. 
Smith met Mrs. Jane Blaisdell on the 
street. 

“You're just the man I want to see,” 
she accosted him eagerly. 

“Then I’ll turn and walk along with 
you, if I may,” smiled Mr. Smith. 
“What can I do for you?” 

“Well, I don’t know as you can do 
anything,” she sighed; “but some- 
body’s got to do something. Could 
you—do you suppose you could inter- 
est my husband in this Blaisdell busi- 
ness of yours?” > 
| Mr. Smith gave a start, looking curi- 
jously disconcerted. . 

“B-Blaisdell business?” he stammer- 
ed. “Why I—I thought he was—er— 
interested in motoring and golf.” 

“Oh, he was, for a time; but it’s too 
cold for those now, and he got sick of 
them, anyway, before it did come cold, 

jJust as he does of everything. Well, 
yesterday he asked a question—some- 
thing about Father Blaisdell’s mother; 
and that gave me the Idea. Do you 
suppose you could get him interested 
in this ancestor business? Oh, I wish | 
you could! It’s so nice and quiet, 
and it can’t cost much—not like golf 
clubs and caddies and gasoline, any- 
way. Do you think you could?” 

“Why, I—! don’t know, Mrs, Blais- 
dell,” murmured Mr. Smith, still a lit- 
tle worriedly. “I—I could show him 
what I have found, of course.” 

“Well, | wish you would, then, 
Anyway, something’s got to be done,” 
she sighed. “He’s nervous as a 
witch. He can’t keep still a minute, 
And he isn’t a bit well, either. He 
ate such a lot of rich.food and all 
sorts of stuff on our trip that he got 
his stomach all out of order; and now 
he can’t eat anything, hardly.” 

“Humph! Well, If his stomach’s 
knocked out, I pity him,” nodded Mr, 
Smith. “I've been there.” 

“Oh, have you? Oh, yes, I remem- 
ber. You did say so when you first 

Vcame, didn’t you? But, Mr. Smith, 
please, {f you know of any of those 
fads, don’t tell them to my husband, 

Don’t, I beg of you!  FHle’s tried Joz- 

ens of them until I’m nearly wild, and 

I’ve lost two hired girls already, One 

day it’ll be no water, and the next it'll 
be all he can drink; and one week lie 
won’t eat anything but vegetables, 
and the next he won't touch a thing 
but meat and—is It fruit that goes 
; with meat or cereals? Well, never 
mind. Whatever It is, he’s done it. 
And lately he’s taken to Inspecting 
every bit Of meat and groceries that 
comes into the house. Why, he 
spends half his time in the kitchen, 
nosing ’round the cupboards and re- 
frigerator; and, of course no gir] will 
stand that! That’s why I’m hoping, 
oh, { am hoping that you can do some- 
thing with him on that ancestor busi- 
ness, There, here Is the Bensons’, 
where I’ve got to stop—and thank vou 
ever so much, Mr. Smith, {f you will.” 

“All right, I’ll try,” promised Mr. 
Smith dubiously, as he lifted his hat. 
But he frowned, and he was. still 
frowning when he met Miss Maggie 
at the Duff supper-table half an hour 
later. 

“Well, I’ve found another one who 
wants me to tell how to be contented, 
though afflicted with a hundred thou- 

| sand dollars,” he greeted her glower- 
ingly. 

“Is that so?” smiled Miss Maggie. 

“Yes, Can’t.a hundred thousand 
dollars bring anyone satisfaction?” 

Miss Maggie laughed, then into her 
eyes came the michievious twinkle 
that Mr. Smith had learned to watch 
for. 

“Don’t blame the poor money,” she 
said then demurely, “Blame—the 
way it is spent!” 


CHAPTER XVII. 
Just a Matter of Begging 


True to his promise, Mr. Smith 
“tried” Mr. Frank Blaisdell on “the 
ancester business” ¢ery soon.  Lab- 
oriousiy he got out his tabusated dates! 
and names, and caretully he traced 
| for him several Hnes of descent from 
remote ancestors. Painstakingly he 
pointed out a “Submit,” who had no 
history but the bare fact of her mar- 
riag¢ to one Thomas Blaisdell, and a 
“Thankful Marsh,” who had eluded 
his every attempt to supply her with 
parents. He let it be understood 
how important these missing links 
were, and he tried to inspire his poss- 
{ble pupil with a frenzied desire to 
go out and dig them up. He showed 
some of the interesting letters he had 
received from various Biaisdells far 
and near, and he spread before him 
the genealogical page of his Iavest 
“Transcript,” and explained how one 
might there stumble upon the very 
missing link he was looking for. 

But Mr. Frank Blaisdeil was openly 
bored. He said he didn’t care how 
many children his great-grandfather 
had, nor what they died of; and as for 
Mr. Submit and Miss Thankful, the 
ladies might bury themselves in the 
“Transcript,” or hide behind that wall 
of dates and names till doomsday, for 
all he cared. He shouldn’t disturb 
‘em, He never did like figures, he 
said except figures that represented 
something worth while, like a day’s, 
sales or a year’s profits. And, speak: | 
ing of grocery stores, had Mr. Sinith 
ever seen a store run down as his old 
one had since he sold out? For that

THE ADVANCE, CHINOOK, ALBERTA: 


—_—_——. 


With trembling fingers she took 

from her bag a letter, and a small 
picture evidently cut’ from. a news- 
paper. e ‘ 
! “There, see,” she panted, holding 
them out. “It’s a man in Boston, 
and these are his children. There 
are seven of them, He: wrote mea 
beautiful letter. He said he knew I 
must have a real kind heart, and ne’s 
in. terrible trouble. He said he saw 
in the paper about the wonderful leg- 
acy I’d had, and he told his wife he 
was going to write to me, to see if I 
wouldn’t help them—if only a little, 
it would ald them that much.” 

“He wants money, then?” Miss Mag- 
gie had taken the letter and the pic- 
ture rather gingerly in her hands. 
Mr. Smith had gone over to the stove 
suddenly—to turn a datnper, ippar- 
ently, though a close observer might 
have noticed that he turned -it back 
to its former position almost at once. 

“Yes,” palpitated Miss Flora. 'He’s 
sick, and he lost his position, and his 
wife’s sick, and two of the children, 


and one of ’em 's lame, and anothers|rant or natural electric 


blind, Qh, it was such a pitiful story, 
Maggie! Why, some days they 
haven't had enough to eat—and just 
look at me, with all my chickens and 
turkeys and more pudding every day 
than | can stuff down!” 

“Did he give you any references?” 

“Relerences! What do you mean? 
He didn’t ask me to hire him for any- 
thing.” 

“No, no, dear, but 1 mean—did he 
give you any references, to show that 
he was—was worthy and all right,” 
explained Miss Maggie patiently. 

“Of course he didn’t! Why, he 
didn't need to. He told me himself 
how things were with him,” rebuked 
Miss Flora indignantly. “It’s all in 
the letter there. Read for yourself.” 

“But he really ought to have given 
you some‘reference, dear if he askec 
you for money.” + 

“Well, 1 don’t want any reference. 
1 believe him. I'd be ashamed to 
doubt a man like that! And you 
would, after you read that letter, and 
look into those blessed children’s 
faces. Besides, hé never thought of 
such a thing—I know he didn’t. Why, 
he says right in the letter there that 
he never asked for, help before, and 
he was so ashamed that he had to 
now.” \ 

Mr. Smith made a sudden odd lit- 
tle noise in his throat. Perhaps he 
got choked. At all events; he was 
Seized with a fit of coughing just then. 

Miss Maggie turned over the letter 
in her hand. —— 

“Where does he tell you to send 
the money?” 

“It’s right there—Box four hundred 
and something; and I got a moncy 
order, just as he said.” 

“You got one! Do you mean that 
you've already sent this money?” 
cried Miss Maggie. 

“Why, yes, of course. I stopped at 
the office on the way down here.” 

“And you sent—a money order?” 

“Yes. He said he would rather 
have that than a check.” 

“T don’t doubt it! ~ You don’t seem 
to have—delayed any.” , 

“Of course I didn’t delay! Why, 
Maggie, he said he had to have it at 
once. He was going to be turned 
out—turned out into the streets! 
Think of those seven little children in 
the streets! Wait, indeed! Why, 
Maggie, what can you be thinking 
of?” 

‘{’'m thinking you've been the easy 
victim of a professional beggar, 
Flora,’ retorted Miss Maggie, with 
some spirit, handing back the letter 
and the picture. 

“Why, Maggie, I never knew you to 
be so—so unkind,’ charged Miss 
Flora, her eyes tearful, “He can't be 
a professional beggar. He said he 
wasn't—that he never begged before 
in his life.”

Puzzle Of Wireless - 


Experts Unable to Define Source of 
Mysterious Messages 
Despite the most diligent research 
experts are not yet able to say whenc 
the mysterious “vagrant” signals come 
that every day, and particularly at 
night, are received on wireless aerial. 
“Vrom the earliest days of long 
distance wireless telegraphy, ‘the 
difficultles in reception due to vag- 
waves and 
atmospheric electric discharges pass- 
Ing down the receiving aerial have 
been the bane of the wireless tele- 
graphist,” Professor John Amtro3e 
Pleming, of London University, told 
the Royal Society of Arts. He said: 
“Having regard to the fact that the 
positive atmospheric electric poten- 
tial gradient of the earth increases 
at the rate of about 100 volts per me- 
ter of ascent, roughly speaking, It is 
not surprising that aerials several 
hundred feet high may be traversed 
by quite large currents due to ...13 
course alone which may _ utterly 
swamp the feeble signal currents,’ 
Professor Ileming is the inventor 
of the thermionic valve-receiver, 
which revolutionized wireless telc- 
graphy and telephony. 


Taking Edge Of Work 


Humdrum Labor Is Made Lighter By

It is the human association, the 
companionship, that makes eithor

sure out of going over the course all

and the same chance to show his skill

: The Marvels Of Aluminum 


When Alloyed With Other Metals 
Weight Practically Unchanged 

Ever since aluminum was produced 
{n a commercial form the greatest in- 
terest has been taken in its applica- 
tion to various engineering structures 
where lightness with strength is de- 
sirable. It was soon found that when 
aluminum was alloyed with other 
metals its strength was greatly in- 
creased without any great change in 
weight.’ Various alloys of aluminum 
have been used in the structure of 
airships and aeroplanes, and the re- 
sults have been so promising that a 
special committee was formed in 
Great Britain to undertake systematic 
research of the properties of alu- 
minum alloys. A report recently {s- 
sued by this committee embodies the 
results of seven years of research con- 
ducted in the National Physical.Labor- 
atory, which is subsidized by the Brit- 
ish Government. This research has 
resulted in the discovery of many al- 
loys which are of great promiso for 
practically all kinds of enginccring, 
‘particularly motor car manufacture, 
railway rolling stock, internal com- 
bustion engines and steam engineer- 
ing. The only - problem awaiting 
solution {s the production of these al-

Inexpensive Meats 


Ce eeraemmmend 


_ BY LORETTO C. LYNCH 


An Acknowledged Expert in All 
Matters Pertaining to House. 
hold Management. 


In the farmhouse, melts are consid- 
ered a rare treat and the ingenious 
housekeeper has devised ways of serv- 
ing these delicacies. -1I€ is now pos- 
sible for the city housewive to get 
melts, as the meat packers are send- 
ing them daily to the city meat mar- 
kets, 

Beef, pork or sheep melts may be 
used. “The chefs in our’ best hotels, 
too, have discovered ways of serving 
them. Try somo of these recipes: 


Braised Melts 


Slice one pound of pork melts, 
cover’ with boiling water, let stand 
ten. minutes, drain and wipe dry. 
Then, put into a stew pan one carrot, 
two onions, sliced, and a bouquet of 
herbs. Lay the melts on top of these 
with enough stock or boiling water to 
about cover. Simmer with the cover 
on for about one hour. Remove cov- 
er and put into the oven to brown. 
Dish up some mashed potatoes, put 
melts on the _ potatoes, strain the 
gravy and mix it well with a-sharp 
sauce, pour it over and serve. 


Melts Venetienne 


Slice and cover the melts with boil- 
ing water, drain and wipe dry. Cut 
the melts into small pieces and place 
in the frying pan in which about four 
tablespoons of butter has been melt- 
ed. Add two onions sliced fine, a lit- 
tle chopped parsley and salt and pep- 
per to taste. When the nielts are 
browned and ‘well done and the 
onions tender, squeeze the juice of a 
lemon over them and serve in a bor- 
der of steamed rice. 

Liver may be substituted for 
melts in either of the recipes. 

The housewife often passes by 
the oxtails at the meat shop, scarcely 
realizing their possibilities. - Before 
proceeding to use these in any recipe 
they should be treated as follows: 

Wash and soak them, cut in two- 
inch pieces in cold water for one-half 
hour. Drain, cover with boiling 
water and cook for twenty minutes. 
Drain. They are now ready to be 
prepared in any manner desired. 

Grilled -oxtails are a “special” at 
one uf our metropolitan restaurants, 
and are delicious. Prepare them as 
directed above and then place’ them 
in,a saucepan... Add two’ cups of 
water and one onion. Steam until 
tender,-then lift.and drain. Place in 
a baking dish, season with salt, pep- 
per and a little grated cheese and 
cook in a hot oven for about ten min- 
utes. Serve with a curry or rice. 


Oxtail Pot Pie 


Prepare two oxtails as previously 
directed. Place in a deep saucepan 
and add one quart of boiling water, a 
branch of soup herbs, one carrot cut 
in dice and one onion cut in quarters; 
Bring to a boil and cook slowly until 
tender. Put this in casserole and 
add one“dozen very small par-boiled 
potatoes, four large onions cooked un- 
til tender with one cup of carrots. 
Thicken the gravy with corn starch 
and season with salt and pepper. 
Strain over the tails and vegetables in 
the casserole. Then cover with ple 
crust and bake forty minutes in a hot 
oven. 


Cuts and Brulses Disappear.—When 
suffering from cuts, scratches, bruises, 
sprains, sore throat or chest and any 
similar ailment, use Dr. Thomas’. Ec- 
lectric Oil. Its healing power is 
well-known in every section of the 
community. A ‘bottle of Dr. Thomas’ 
Eclectric Oil should be in every medi- 
cine chest ready for the emergencies 
that may always be anticipated.
